A lot of the people working in the data center operations have a military background where the discipline and training for mission critical operations is common. One individual, I have had many data center discussions with, but not recently is Lee Kirby with Lee Technologies. Lee is currently stationed in Afghanistan for a year, and is looking quite fit.

Normally, being deployed for a year mean’s sacrificing your family time, but Lee has been able to spend time with his son Colin who is also stationed in Afghanistan. His son writes.

Subject: PICS From family vacation Here are the pics from the visit to A-Stan by Dad. We went on THE BEST MISSION EVER. It's a shame that we could not be busier, but still got to see A-Stan quite a bit. Pretty cool trip, not a lot of people can say they ever went on a combat mission with their old man/son. Love, Colin

Many of us are waiting to hear Lee’s stories when he returns from his tour.
